Its use and physics has changed over the series, but in all versions, if the Falcon Kick goes into a wall (including the blocks in the stage [[Green Greens]]), he will bounce off and gain height, though this animation has a significant amount of ending lag. | Its use and physics has changed over the series, but in all versions, if the Falcon Kick goes into a wall (including the blocks in the stage [[Green Greens]]), he will bounce off and gain height, though this animation has a significant amount of ending lag. | ||

In '' | In ''Smash 64'', Falcon rushes forward, blazing with a flaming kick, with arguably the biggest hitbox out of all of its appearances in front of Falcon and the most KO power. It travels enough distance to go from the lowest brown platform on [[Hyrule Castle]] to the top of the green wall in the "Tent" area. It has good range, and can KO at very high percents, where it launches foes at a 45° angle above Falcon. This move comes out fast as well, and is great to approach or punish. Falcon Kick, as with [[Falcon Punch]], has its fire effects rendered as 2D sprites. | ||
When Falcon hits a wall while using it, he bounces off and gains height, but this is very laggy. There is a glitch where the move will "bounce" when used close to any [[ledge]] while facing the opposite direction of it. The only way to achieve this position is by [[rolling]] towards a solid platform's ledge, which appears to register a character as both on and (exceptionally slightly) off of said platform. This explains why the wall collision animation plays instead of normal aerial or grounded travel, as well as why certain other attacks ({{SSB|Kirby}}'s {{b|Inhale|Kirby}}, for instance) push the user off the ledge after jumping (with no horizontal controller input) from that spot. | When Falcon hits a wall while using it, he bounces off and gains height, but this is very laggy.

Interestingly, the hitbox of aerial Falcon Kick only covers up to Falcon's thigh, leaving his leg and foot completely exposed. The Falcon Kick's travel speed also slows down per target hit, causing multiple targets at once to severely slow down Captain Falcon during the attack. The aerial version however, is not as affected in comparison. | Interestingly, the hitbox of aerial Falcon Kick only covers up to Falcon's thigh, leaving his leg and foot completely exposed.

The move lost a little speed and some KO power, but seems to travel farther and has better rendered effects (though a few red fire sprites appear in the move). This move is also easier to use near a ledge. The range is about half of {{SSBM|Final Destination}}. When it hits the turning blocks in Yoshi's Island with the aerial version, the move cancels. | ||
Despite these new factors, it isn't used particularly often outside of recovering due to his new throwing and aerial meta-game. | Despite these new factors, it isn't used particularly often outside of recovering due to his new throwing and aerial meta-game. | ||

This move can travel about half the distance of {{SSBB|Final Destination}} | Due to the changed pacing of ''Brawl'', the move is considered its slowest here, and has reduced stun. This move can travel about half the distance of {{SSBB|Final Destination}}. However, due to the slower pace, it also makes a good move to punish foes, chase them while dodge rolling, or [[tech chase]]. Unlike ''Melee'', it doesn't regain his second jump if used in midair, though the aerial version now fully covers Captain Falcon's leg and foot, giving it better reach below him. | ||
The attack's duration makes it unsafe on hit at lower percents. When it first comes out it has moderate knockback, though this initial hitbox is still not powerful enough to reliably KO under 150%. However, like Wizard's Foot its ending lag can be canceled if it is used in a position so the move ends in the edge very close to the stage, (nicknamed "Falcon Kick Canceling"), but unlike Wizard's Foot, hitting the opponent with the move slows Falcon significantly, and is punishable on lower percents, especially if going through multiple foes or if shielded. | The attack's duration makes it unsafe on hit at lower percents.

In ''Brawl'', Ganondorf's Wizard's Foot while airborne was given two initial hitboxes, one that [[spike]]s and one that sends the foe powerfully upwards, but this is not the case with Captain Falcon. In the air, Falcon will quickly go downwards at an slight left or right angle (depends on which direction he is facing), and if the foe is hit within the initial frames, they receive moderately powerful horizontal knockback. It has high duration, with similar frames to its grounded version; however, this can spell doom for Falcon players should they do the move off a ledge, as even with [[Falcon Dive]]'s very large ledge sweetspot, Captain Falcon's falling speed may take him too far down. It can also be used when jumping off a grabbed ledge on the foe as a surprise aerial attack (though note the high ending lag when it hits the ground). Also just like Ganondorf's, Falcon can jump and immediately cancel it into this attack. | In ''Brawl'', Ganondorf's Wizard's Foot while airborne was given two initial hitboxes, one that [[spike]]s and one that sends the foe powerfully upwards, but this is not the case with Captain Falcon.

The Falcon Kick returns in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', and is much stronger, with the early hitbox is now strong enough to KO under 150%. The recoiling flip performed by Falcon after hitting a wall is also different, with him doing a twirl to the side. | The Falcon Kick returns in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', and is much stronger, with the early hitbox is now strong enough to KO under 150%.
